Tomorrow, Doctor Who
fans will be tuning in to The Day of the
Doctor, the 50th-anniversary episode of the BBC series that will
broadcast simultaneously in several countries. For non-Whovians, a little
background: The show follows an alien Time Lord known as The Doctor, who
travels through time and explores the universe in his TARDIS – a roomy spaceship disguised as a rather smallBritish police box.

Spaces that are impossibly large on the inside aren’t an uncommon device in sci-fi and fantasy – see also: the
wardrobe that leads to Narnia and the Weasleys’ camping tent in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For sci-fi/fantasy fans
everywhere, we’ve found the real-life equivalent of the TARDIS and other spaces
with deceptive square footage. Check
out these five surprisingly spacious houses where you can totally pretend to be a Time
Lord (or a wizard or whathaveyou).
